When you move messages between IMAP servers using an IMAP client you totally muck the "date received" on the messages. All the messages moved at the same time will have (roughly) the same "date received" on the new server. You can mitigate this some by moving things in chunks -- oldest to newest. This accounts why you are seeing the "older 50" when you select "all messages" with a count limit. I don't believe that moving the messages to a new gmail label will have any material effect on their server's perspective of when the messages were received. In theory, "date sent", as opposed to "date received", should be ok still. I'm not certain why you are only seeing messages received since you added the gmail account to K-9, but in general, these are server-side issues. K-9 is making the request and simply displaying what is returned by the server. With desktop clients you're less likely to see these issues because you generally don't limit the retrieval set. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the K-9 Mail Users List.
